Detecting clinically actionable variants in the 3′ exons of PMS2 via a reflex workflow based on equivalent hybrid capture of the gene and its pseudogene
29 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hereditary cancer screening (HCS) for germline variants in the 3' exons of PMS2, a mismatch repair gene implicated in Lynch syndrome, is technically challenging due to homology with its pseudogene PMS2CL. Sequences of PMS2 and PMS2CL are so similar that next-generation sequencing (NGS) of short fragments-common practice in multigene HCS panels-may identify the presence of a variant but fail to...
